This A6M5 was shot down on 19 June 1944, crash landing in a swamp near Agana Airfield, Guam. It was discovered in 1962 and was shipped to Japan in 1964. It was restored with the original markings it wore when assigned to the 343 Kokutai at Agana. It is currently on display at the JASDF Museum in Hamamatsu, Japan.
